Charging problem HyperGPS on HTC Touch HD

I seem to have solved my charging problem (IGO looses TMC signal when charging) by using an USB-cable and USB-charger. I'll try it out for the next few days.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daddylonglegs:
Well I have been doing a bunch more reading and if I am correct, this will not work on CDMA/Verizon's version of the HTC Touch Pro 2? Is that because no one has figured out how to unlock the FM feature yet or something?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mandragore:
Thanks!

I only had to change the port number. After starting MN 7.3.4 with HGPS_Switch, I quickly received my first TMC message.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LangeWim:
Bad TMC signal while charging

Hi lpjalkemade,

I use a 2A usb car-charger but while charging the tmc signal is bad and even my gps loses sometimes his fix. Both signals returns when the battery is charged again.

Even more: when I just unplug the charger from the cigaret-lighter-socket, the original headset is enough for a good reception of most of the stations with tmc. While charging I solved this a little by using an el-cheapo head-phone with at least 2 m cable from my inside mirror to the bottem of my windscreen. Some strong stations have enough signal then.

What I would like to know is the relation with the radio- and rom-versions.

My combination:

- MDA Compact IV ( = Touch diamond = P3700 )

- hard spl

- radio 1.09.25.23

- rom 1.93.114.2 (latest T-Mobile)

- hypergps beta 8

- splitter: original htc yc-a300

For those who don't face this problem, please let me know your combination.

Thanks!

Hi there,

i just tried the last version on my HTC Touch HD with Navigon and it works EXCELLENT! Even the cooperation with build-in MP3-Player seems to work. So I can navigate, get TMC codes via plugged in headset cable (which is in reality cable to audio-in in the car) and play music through the wire to car audio-system.

Today, I will give it a try on the roads...

Thank you very much for this excellent piece of tool!

Keep you posted about my experiences on the fields.

idea for a new feature..

@beemer

I have a cool idea for a new feature for hyperGPS! When gps-signal is lost, hypergps can fake (same speed, way) the gps signal! (for tunnel).

grEEtZ,

gongoscho
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beemerTPPC:
In fact, HyperGPS started that way, like a program that sends GPS data to teh navigator when the real GPS data is lost.It was based on the acelerometers, but I had problems with the Kalman filter and then the flywhc API was available and I changed the finality.

But as soon as I get a Leo (acelerometers + compass) I'll tray again the first functionality.

Sorry guy's,

i forget this:

When i was in information window in mn7, i return to the main page, and i want to return to the information page "circulation" ("verkehr" in deutsch). Navigon switch off himself.

I don't know why there is this bug.

Thanks for your responses.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KlausDo:
@khou

Just from reading different posts: you should use Mn7.3.4 - so some problems disappear :)

I gave it a short try some weeks ago with Diamond, hypergps x? and MN6.

I remember that one has to set parameters carefully: suddenly the TMC-message was there. Just give it another try :D

Anyone got this working on a Polaris?

I have since last Beta5 moved to another radio and another rom.

Still no joy.

Currently (as always) i don't get decoded data for a station i know sends data.

As of now i see

sound output: speaker

mute radio: tuned sound

and i hear nothing neighter from the speaker nor from the headset.

At least last time i tried i was able to hear music...

OH MY!!!!

I finally got it working.

I had switched to com5 and it did not work.

Back to com9 it works!!!

I think the sound flags are messed up, but nevermind :P

Same issue here on HTC Diamond rom 2.03
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] swoop_xda:
It seems we grew to a nice bunch here already and it keeps growing. Maybe it is time to communicate good practice when giving feedback.

Everyone who *has* success with Alpha3, please mention your ROM version, RADIO version, *and* iGO version. That way the others can (if they want) try to reproduce the situation. I know it may be quite cumbersome to always paste these in your post, but it is so easy to place this info in your signature and you are done. I advice to those who are unsuccessful doing the same.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Oemie:
Alpha 3 works very good for me! I put my headphones in touch HD and started the driver. In IGO v8.3.2.83157 (Apr 3 2009) i had changed to given system.ini settings that where given here before i started everything.

The test page immediately showed tmc, so i quit test page but left program running. Then started IGO and looked @ tmc that showed tmc available but frequency was 0.0 Mhz. I put it to auto tune and when it arrived at 100.7 Mhz i deselected auto tune and manually put 100. in it.

It showed TMC data in 5 seconds!! and worked till i quited the program and after that put the headphone out and quiet the driver..

So Alpha 3 works very good for me..:D

as i said:

I used the genuine headphone as antenna

I am on windows mobile 6.5 (Mirirom)

I have IGO v8.3.2.83157 (Apr 3 2009)

I have radio 1.13 bla....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tthor:
An other successful experience on HTC HD (HTC official ROM and iGO 8.3.2.83157).

I followed the install instructions from beemer on the first thread for alpha3 version of HyperGPS.

I received TMC information in iGo using 102.4 frequency (NRJ, Bordeaux, France), but when I stop/restart Igo it fails as many reports in this forum.

I also notice some trouble to launch HTC FM Radio (with HyperGPS driver unloaded), I had to Soft Reset and uninstall alpha3 cab.

I have very enthusiastic about this project, and I was septic about your success when you start this work, so great job Beemer, and hope you could improve your driver.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] remko:
Ok I've done a bit more of testing and wanted to share the results.

I'm using a Touch HD with Leo's ROM, Radio 1.14

After a SR I do the following to get everything working:

- Delete GFMAPI.dll and replace with clean one (Aplha 3 version)

- Start the driver with or without Headset plugged in (no difference)

- Exit the driver window

- Start iGo with an empty, Read Only, system.ini wihtout TMC settings

- Manually select TMC protocol and port

- Manually tune to TMC channel, wait and TMC comes in stable and fast!!!!

Even if I close iGo (8.3.2) and restart it afterwards, set TMC receiver manually again and it works perfectly!!! When I stop and restart the driver I cannot get a TMC lock in iGo anymore. The receiver is foudn and I can tune channels, but no TMC comes in.

So as long as I do not Soft Reset or stop the driver, TMC is present in iGo always. I just tested it after a night on standby and everything still working. Leaving the driver running also doesn'T drain battery.

another nice thing is that it is not necessary to tune with the test tool or leave the driver window open. Just start it up and close all windows, the driver is still running and accesible by iGo.

Only problem left for me is the audio. It doesn't send audio over the speaker but just over the headphones. Every now and then it does use the speaker, but this is rare and unpredictable.

Hope my reports help you a bit, keep up the good work and you can definitly count on my donation!!!

please, don't forget unicode! Means displaying umlauts like;

this is for the majority of European languages necessary inorder to screen tmc messages correctly. Without those letters the purpose of a certain message simply gets lots.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vrowdy:
I thought I tried that a zillion times, but it turns out that zillion + 1 does the trick :)

After deleting the settings from system.ini once more, it actually detected the TMC feed just fine!

Now only the GNS protocol and some more stability enhancements and we have a killer-app :)

I'll go to PayPal now to make a donation.

Edit:

I made a manual donation, because the page linked from the first post is in Spanish and wouldn't let me log in for some reason.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vrowdy:
Well, my success turns out to be limited.

In order to receive TMC, I have to do exactly this:

Edit System.ini from iGo and delete TMC settings

Do not attach headphone yet

Start HyperGPS

Click TMC

Go to Test-page and tune to station frequency

You see fake TMC

Attach headphones now

You see real TMC

Click OK to exit test-screen

Leave HyperGPS running and Start iGo

Let iGo detect the TMC hardware

Now you have TMC, but sounds are coming from headphones :(

If I perform any of these steps in any other way, TMC is not working BUT sound is coming from the speaker!

So if I attach the headphones before starting HyperGPS and activating the driver for example, I do have sound over the speaker but no TMC.

Almost there, almost there....! How's alpha 4 coming along? :)

Edit (some more info):

If I have performed above steps, I can do the following with the following results:

1) If I just exit iGo and restart iGo right away, I have sound over the speaker and no TMC

2) If I exit iGo, edit system.ini and set the 'saved config' back to 0, and then restart iGo, I let iGo re-detect the TMC. I then have TMC and sound over the headphones again.

In case 1 and 2 I just left HyperGPS alone, I didn't look at it or change anything.

I hope this can help you some more to narrow down the problem.

So, basically there seem to be 2 bugs: the initialisation of the driver - if iGo is using saved settings, it just can't find the TMC. You have to force a re-detection every time. And 2) the routing of sound of the speakers isn't working 100% for me yet.

Edit 2:

This is all on a SE Xperia X1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beemerTPPC:
I don't think it is currently limited. The driver only pass the RDS raw data as raw data encapluated on royaltek messages, always in hexadecimal If there is a character set issue it is not in the receiver, I think.

===========

Thanks Rowdy v. for your donation. I've bought pop corns to celebrate it with a good film ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shurik_1:
You did not say what device are you using but it sounds like Touch HD if you have trouble with sound.

I have developed a slightly different procedure:

In iGO sys.txt add saved_config_available="0" This removed need to play with system.ini to get tmc reinitialized every iGO restart. But I still need to autodetect TMC hardware from iGO at every time.

Create a copy of GFMAPI.DLL in Windows folder named GFMAPI.DL- This step is needed if one wants to be able to restart driver after soft reset. It is a more elegant substitute to overwriting of the file.

Start driver through HyperGPS and then one can exit HyperGPS.

Start iGO and autodetect hardware. Then you should be able to autotune the station. Occasionally, I need to tune to any station in HyperGPS prior to exiting it.

Headset stays always in except when I want tostop driver. With headset attached it takes one minute and without a few seconds.

The biggest bugger now is the sound routing issue. Removing the need to autodetect would be nice too.

As soon as these two are resolved I commint to donate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ggrew:
I've had some tests with Alpha3 today, but not as much success as I hoped to have.

But I found some things that can be interesting for you:

I've changed the Band from CCIR to world, which is working. But changing back seems not to work, because the frequencies below 87.5 are still usable in the driver and in Igo. (btw.: this seems to have influence on xFMRadio too :eek: ) Deleting the key in the registry helps.

In most cases I get only the fake-TMC messages in the drivers test window. If I connect with DecoRDS suddenly more and more different TMC messages appear, not only from group 8, but also real TMC messages. Unfortunately it is not possible for me to get Igo to recognize them as TMC messages, even if the TMC hardware was detected and the frequency matches the drivers value. :(

Closing DecoRDS in this situation always crashes, which normally kills the drivers output. Switching the driver off and on again is possible without SR to get back to the same procedure as described.

BTW: Turning off the driver lasts about 10 seconds at maximum on my Polaris, no matter if the headset is plugged or not. :confused:

Anyway, thanks for this app, it is already great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twanj:
I am also having some troubles with this app. I get it to load and to make igo detect the tmc. However i can't get igo to scan the radio for frequencies. Have tried a dozen times, removed everything then reinstalled it etc..

I know this problem will be overcome soone!

Keep up the the good work guys! I'm gonna stay tuned in!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vrowdy:
No, sorry. I did mention it in an earlier post but it useful to mention it again. I've added it to my post. I'm using a SE Xperia X1 (which seems to be quite similar to the HTC HD).

The saved_config line you mention, that's the line I always have to set back to '0'. When I have used iGo, the setting is changed to '1' so I keep having to edit system.ini everytime. Perhaps I can make the file read-only to prevent this (provided I don't want to change any other settings of course and iGo doesn't crash on a read-only file).

But that's not even that big of a problem, mainly annoying but work-aroundable. To sound-issue is a biggie for me.

So I hope beemer can figure this one out :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jackleung:
I have a Sony x1 and this is my workaround for this two issue.

1. put the DLL into the rom so that it will stay after you soft reset.

2. Use A2DP so iGO's and all the other sounds will output to A2DP headset/car audio.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shurik_1:
How can I place DLL into ROM without cooking that ROM? I am not a cook and pretty happy with the latest Dutty.

I have an old car. There is no BT in it. It has a tape though. I will try tomorrow if it works through tape adapter.

iGO TMC...

This works just fine on my Diamond with Orange stock 1.93 ROM connected to 101.5 Classic FM. A couple of questions:

1) Do you have to have a splitter so you can charge in car at the same time?

2) Does the traffic info show on the mapscreen automatically?

Many thanks to the developers :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Oemie:
EDIT: like everyone else after soft reset driver wouldn't load.

When i tried to save the GFMAPY.dll file from windows folder after soft reset, i could do see the file, but trying to copy failed because it says fill can't be found:confused:

Deleting the file works though:confused:

Hi Beemer!

I tried your HyperGPS application beta8 in my Topaz with IGO 8.3. Everything worked fine but only manually.

I tried apply the HGPS_switch you wrote in post #1.

I copied the HGPS_Switch to the IGO8 folder, created the IGO8 link renamed the link to NavApp. When I start IGO, the program starts, but the TMC driver vill not be active. What made I wrong? What can I do?

Beemer i have a request.

I'm now using a diamond with TF3D 2.5 (i think, i'm fairly confused by all the versions there are).

I found that Igo is pretty unstable because it has very low available memory.

Would it be possible for you to tailor GPS Switch to some registry entry in order to tell if and what to unload at startup?

I mean, say we have

HKLM\Software\Beemer\GPSSwitch\Unload

Manila.exe 1

Album.exe 0

So that i can put anything in there and have gpsswitch unload it when starting and reloading it when closing.

It would do a really good job on my device.
